Chereads / Can Death Be Kind / Chapter 2 - Ch.1 The Dream

Chapter 2 - Ch.1 The Dream

I hear tires squealing trying to stop but it was too late. BANG two cars collided and immediately erupt in flames. I look in horror at this gruesome sight of flames, metal, and flesh. I'm suddenly transported to a hospital where a young man and woman are laying in a bed lifeless and two children next to their beds crying.

I'm trying to scream but I can't there's no noise is coming out. "What is going on?" I think to myself. Suddenly the Woman sits up staring at me, with her lifeless eyes, and whispers my name but slowly gets louder "Shin....Shin.....SHIN!!" I sit up in my bed covered in sweat, holding back my screams of panic. My sister is in the doorway with a concerned look on her face "Shin are you okay?" I gather what I can of my wits and tell her "I'm okay Yui, I just had a bad dream." She looks at me still worried. "Well anyways I made breakfast, mom had to work early this morning so she's not here." "Okay, I will be in the kitchen in a second." I get out of bed and began to get dressed for school. I walk down to the kitchen smelling eggs and rice. I see Yui already at the table but she hasn't started eating without me.

We quickly eat our breakfast and head out of the apartment Hina is waiting outside next to the road so we can walk to school together like we always have. "How has your morning been?" Hina asks me and my sister as we walk down the sidewalk almost at the middle school entrance. Still shaken up from the horrific dream, I reply "I'm doing alright I suppose." We drop my sister off at her school and start heading to the Highschool that's up the road Hina stares at me. She's known me for so long, she would automatically know if something was bothering me "Is everything okay?" She asks worriedly. Staring into her beautiful light pink eyes, I couldn't bring myself to lie to her not only that but she would be able to tell. "I had a nightmare last night." "Oh?" She asks as she tilts her head slightly. "Yea...." I say quietly, she immediately drops the subject.

We get to the school entrance and not much to my surprise I get the same jealous looks from every guy there. I don't really blame them an average guy like me walking to school with the most beautiful girl here, I would get jealous too.

Homeroom is about to start, I walk to the back of the classroom and sit in my desk Hina sits in front of me. My homeroom teacher, Ms. Ito, walks through the door she's very attractive and tall, she's also American-Japanese mix which would explain her hazel eyes and her natural blonde hair. "Good morning class, I hope everyone is doing ok let's have a great start on this new school semester." The class cheers "Oh yeah this is a new semester." I thought to myself.

Lunch starts I brought a cup of instant ramen from home like I always have. I find a quiet spot outside under a tree to sit down and eat. Hina comes outside and sits next to me. She looks at my lunch and then asks "Why do you only eat that every single day? You know if you want I could make your lunch." I look at her and say "I don't mind eating ramen its actually pretty good."

"Yea but every single day? That can't be healthy." she replies. "How about this." she adds "How about tomorrow I make you some sweet and sour pork?"

I nodded knowing I couldn't argue, especially when she knows that's my favorite dish.

We begin to eat our lunches when Hina suddenly says "How about we share some of my lunch?"

I look up at her face, which is currently red as a tomato, and suddenly I began blushing too. "Um... I mean if you don't mind?"

Hina replies "No not at all, besides I made way too much, to begin with." She grabs a piece of fried fish and begins to move her chopsticks towards my mouth.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

She replies "What you said you wanted to share, so I'm sharing"

"Well, I didn't think you meant sharing chopsticks too."

"Oh come on just eat it, you don't make such a big deal out of this."

I finally gave in "Okay fine." As I eat the fried fish, Hina's face seems to be a mixture of happiness but also anxious at the same time.

"How is it?" she excitedly asks.

"Delicious." I reply. Her face turns bright pink.

"T-t-t-thank you."

Lunch is about to end so we hurry back to the classroom the rest of the day is full of just reviewing stuff we learned from last semester. Before I knew the school was over and we began walking home.

On the way home I hear a car engine rev loudly down the street and I see another about to pull out the car going down the streets stomps on their brakes but it's too late.....BANG. I suddenly began to panic as I'm seeing every detail of what happened in my dream.

"No....not this...anything but this."

After the ambulance came and got the 2 people involved I begin to take off towards the hospital. Leaving Hina with not much of an explanation other than "I have to find something out." I get to the hospital and go to the front desk to find out where the victims of the car accident were claiming I might know one of them, she told me the room number but told me I might be able to go back there. I run past the doors ignoring everyone telling me to stop I locate the room and sure enough there were the two bodies I saw in my dream. This time something was different this time there was a female-ish figure standing over them in a black cloak. She looks down at the bodies and slowly pulls out from under her cloak a small item that suddenly extends and becomes a scythe.

The kids that are next to the bodies crying don't even seem to notice her.

She picks up her scythe and slashes down in a fast motion two lights leave the bodies and then form into ghastly versions of themselves. The female in the black cloak suddenly turns and sees me. I feel my heart stop, she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Her eyes suddenly get wide as if she's surprised I can see her then suddenly she and the two victims vanish in a blinding light.
